Artist Statement:

The work is a website consisting of random peoples’ recount of an incident that occurred in Bahrain last December. None of these people were eyewitnesses or credible sources. It is a collection of what was being discussed after Eman El Salahi’s death. If you purchase the work, you will gain access to a website, containing a collection of stories that have been circulating since her murder.

The work is a commentary on the gossip mill that consumes small societies and can be viewed here.
